When I first started working on the website nine months ago, I didn’t even know what Postgres was, so going with an easier option made sense. Right now, we also use Supabase for auth and emails.

For queries, we don’t use Supabase’s API interface—we interact with Postgres directly through our backend

Thanks for your answer. Interesting take that you did not know about postgres, but chose an api for storage instead. I would have done the opposite.
